Let it go

Eyes red and strained from the pain
Wet from the lies we told and the hatred that remains
Time was supposed to heal us so that we may start again
But when does life ever appreciate those who try to pretend
Hiding from the truth we bask in our own ignorance
Attempting to defy reality with the words of religious rhetoric
Day after day exhibiting our failures like seasoned veterans
Raising the decibels until a scream is met with a crash
And everything you felt was the past comes out in flash
The why this and why that, the I hate you's and fuck your fact's
Hand pressed to my temple, hoping this dream is only temporal
But that would be too simple
It's like the school of life told you to take this test with a pen instead of a pencil
You look for something stronger to take the edge off a little bit longer
You start to imagine how much baggage you're packing
And if you're destined to be alone based on everything they said you were lacking
All I can do is let it go
All I can do is let it be
All I will do is forget about them
And take each step like anyone would be lucky to have the best and worst of me.
